You do know you need to put the gas in the tank not spray it all over the car, right?

I admire MS. Straight up they got their stuff together. I don't really apply for units because of my playing times and am therefore doomed to drop with some pretty bad pug teams. But if i did I'd join MS

Now i wont say that we have 12mans running 24/7 but we do have players from all over the world so chances are that you would find someone to drop with most of the time

I play mon tues morning/afternoon usually. Sometimes i mic up sometimes no because wife sleeps and we're in a studio. Considering all that i consider myself a casual player.. But a very good one

In all seriousness I wouldn't let that stop you. Even if you can't talk, just listening on TS is acceptable as long as it's only 1 - 2 people per dropship. I do it now and again and we even have a couple of people who don't have mics.

During the times you mentioned (assuming you're east coast US) you'd catch mostly EU players. We may not always have a full 12-man running then, but there's almost always at least a 6+, which works pretty much as well.

Beign part of the blue hand group hurts playtime but those IS mechs though ... would say its relaxing the way they play but its bordering on boring no need to twist and alpha for days without worying about heat (or maybe the clan pugs are even worse than the IS ones :s now thats a sobering thought)

Ps.
Not trying to be elitist (im not that good myself) but i just had the most boring 2+ hours of cw game play this year so thats the basis of this post

Hey MS guys, someone suggested i ask you guys about this, have any of you figured out a clan counter to the IS tactic of "wait around the corner, rush when the clans get close, kill them in short range due to tankier mechs and better heat efficiency"?

you probably already have your answer, but I thought I'd mention it anyway, I've had quite a bit of success with a C-UAC\20 in one hand and 6X C-SPL other hand/torsos, high dps in a brawl, rattle from the C-UAC\20, and better than 2:1 damage:heat ratio.

Howdy,

Are you guys IS or Clan right now? I have mostly IS mechs in my CW dropdeck (Banshees, Blackjacks, Quickdraws) and pretty much no clan mechs.
I have a mic and headphones but so far I have only been able to do CW late at night so generally cant really talk as the rest of the family is sleeping. Using overwolf I do type though. Would that make sense for a unit like yours?

Mostly EU late evening hours for my availability.

We just signed a 1 week contract with Smoke Jag, effective as of the end of EU ceasefire earlier today.

Not sure where we'll go after that, but with the reduced population in clan right now it's a lot easier to get fights from this side of the house.

Pretty much anyone is welcome to drop by our teamspeak and get into drops to see how they do. You can get the details at http://www.mercstar.net

You could always come down here into FWL space and help us paint the IS purple. we don't ever need to worry about clan populations down here. just 4 IS factions to play against. It'll probably be the last time Marik gets to do anything before the April patch changes restrict us to a single attack land and 0 defensive lanes.

Hello guys and gals!

I was just wondering if someone would be able to msg me to answer a few questions my clan mates and I have (we are a small clan of 3 friends playing for fun).

Let me know! We have great teamwork and love doing our best each and every time.

Later!

Hey there.

I would just visit the TS - ts.mercstaralliance.com - and, locate anybody with [-MS- Officer] tag,open a text chat with them and ask if they have a minute. Either text or talk, on your own or together with your friends =]

From personal experience (I was looking into the process of joining as a small group for a few friends of mine couple of month back) - if all 3 of you are active, play together, and also want to drop with a constant group of 8-12 (or may be create a stable scouting group of 4 to work together with a 12, if you are into it) - you can do just that with MS.

TS is free for all, and you can either synchronise your unit's contract with MS', or join MS-R as a trio.
In either case drop with MS constantly, pick a unit within MS to join (usually those guys you end up dropping with most of the time) and then progress to full MS membership.
Joining MS as a sub-unit could be more complicated though. You'd need some reputation and, probably, numbers.

Any level of immersion is welcome, from occasionally just for fun all the way to completive try-hard-no-lifers.
Really up to you what you want to do.

ts is not working?

[Diddi Doedel]

Yeah, somehow we have problems with the regular URL.

Try these instead:

67.23.26.161:8344 or sadpandas.failnoob.com:8344

Those work

I wish to join up. My group is lame. Pm with details.
